General comments: STAY WELL CLEAR!I applied for a loan online with Black Horse Loans and was called later on and informed my application was succussful and all i needed to do was pop into the nearest office to complete the paperwork.However, everything changed after i had arrived to sign the documents at the BlackHorse office.The APR suddenly went from 18.9% which was quoted at the time of my application being accepted to a wopping 38% when i visited the office.This company is a joke and please be warned!

I was told that i was accepted for a small loan and the paperwork
would be sent out the next day, then Black Horse Loans made SIX credit searches on my credit report and made constant calls to ask the same questions about a address i lived at 9 years ago
i had enough and told them no thank you.

Black Horse Finance. Well I got a car on finance through black horse last October, even though my credit wasnt all that good and they took me on straight away. Paying a little more in interest but only about £15 a month. Not missed a payment and they are fantastic to deal with. Very helpfull and friendly. Then 2 weeks ago i took a £1000 loan out to secure my venue for my wedding. I went to see them on the Thursday and I had the money in my bank account by Tuesday. I was rejected by ...

This is my second loan with Blackhorse - received one in around last September when no one else would give me a loan (poor credit rating) and so decided to try them anyway - nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Thought at that time that if I did get a loan from Blackhorse then it would help me out of my hole and that was also chance for me to improve my credit rating and luckily for me they approved my loan application at that time - helped me out of a hole and I haven't looked back. Kept my repay ...

I would stay well clear! All I wanted was my debt in one place. They told me I had definately been approved hence receiving loan agreements to sign and then BANG all goes out of the window! A disgrace!

I am very disappointed. I appreciate a mistake may have been made, but on two occasions they told me the loan was approved and then I had a call to say the money was going into my account. Half an hour later, it was all off and I was very upset. I did not get much sympathy.

We don't have a good credit rating due to circumstances in the past, however during the last 5 years we have been paying things off slowly but surely. However, despite the fact that no payments have been missed on anything we are still turned doen by the big companies for anything from a decent bank account to a mortgage. Black Horse however took our recent credit history into account over the past events. They did acknowledge our ccjs but noted that they were being paid and no payments on anyth ...

At least they are transparent about some of their keyfacts. They just don't tell you it would be a nightmare to get a top-up loan. They refused to approve the loan unless I took out a PPI..... bad bad!!!! I have since cancelled this after 2 years and asking claiming back on this missold policy!

The only reason I took out a Black Horse loan is that I took advantage of an interest-free finance offer when I purchased a new settee, and they were the provider. After I received the agreement, I noticed that the payment protection had been added as a matter of course. I contacted them by phone to be told that it was the fault of the furniture retailer, and my problem was with them . In effect, they suggested that they were powerless to cancel their own insurance! I contacted them a second tim ...

When shopping around for a personal loan I gave Black Horse the chance after the satisfactory completion of a two year interest free payment plan from a purchase from SCS. I chose the deal that I wanted, and feel the advice offered during the meeting was excellent. I would recommend Black horse to anyone, for service they score very highly.

Black Horse Loans has helped me out of a hole at this stage and since they gave me a chance this is also an opportunity to try and repair my bad credit history (which incidentally was due to separating from partner and being left with all his bills too because they were registered at my address). The lady that dealt with me worked out my repayments to suit my means and didn't treat me as if I was begging for the loan like some other loan companies do. The whole process from start to finish was ...

I have been more than happy overall with the service I have received from Black horse. They really stood the test when I fell behind with my payments because I lost my job, other than the fact I had 15 missed calls from them on the phone, by which stage I was terrified to speak to them, I was pleasantly surprise when a charming Scots girl treated me like I wasn't a naughty child! They manage to take on board the fact that my situation was short term and set me up my own payment plan to sort me o ...

I borrowed £5000 in July 2003. I am still paying it back over 5 years, paying £144.33 a month, which is a total of £8659.00.
Black Horse Finance have done OK out of it - £3659.00 profit. I would have never got the loan, but I was suffering from depression and anxiety at the time, and I did not know what I was doing. They lend money very easily, but there's a big price to pay.

Most lenders seem to be quite happy these days to do business over the phone. What's so special about Black Horse Loans? I was accepted for an unsecured loan on their own credit scoring system by the broker/introducer. I had to chase the lender, as they were slow in getting back to me after the initial decision in principle was made. I was asked to visit a local branch, but the closest one to me was a 1 hour drive away. I made the effort, because over the phone they stated that they would be abl ...
